Amidst a beautiful forested region, Pinelands is conveniently located 45 minutes from both Philadelphia and Atlantic City, and just under 3 hours from NYC, Washington D.C., and Baltimore. Tickets for Pinelands are on-sale now! Fans can head to www.pinelandsfest.eventbrite.com for a special limited early bird general admission ticket ($65), VIP ($150), and advance parking ($10).

Pinelands Music Festival will showcase over 20 bands and take place across three stages one of which will spotlight local/regional acts.

Festival Organizer, Nick DeLouise had this to say about the lineup:

“This year’s lineup showcases popular established artists, as well as emerging artists and even some reunited groups. A roster like this one has the capacity to bring together people of all ages from all walks of life, as good music tends to do.”

Pinelands Music Festival differs from other festivals of it’s size mainly in aesthetics. Tucked into the remote Pine Barrens of New Jersey, the forest breaks open to reveal an outstanding venue with plenty of amenities making it the perfect venue for a music festival. It offers the “destination festival” feel while remaining in close proximity to some of the biggest cities in the US. In addition, 90% of the 2015 lineup calls the surrounding areas home, offering up nostalgia and hometown pride to the community.

Just in time for back to school season, New Jersey pop/R&B artist, Erin Bowman, has unveiled another unreleased song off her anticipated upcoming EP. “Rush” is a catchy, hard hitting song coming out on the heels of Erin’s successful summer anthem, “Hey Summer,”which received glowing reviews as well as air play on Sirius XM’s 20 on 20, Syracuse’s 93Q, Q96 in Champaign, IL, and Utica’s 97.9/105.5 Kiss FM, and her follow up single“Besides You.”

When asked about the message the song conveys, Erin shared, “I think everyone can relate to those songs they hear that make them think of someone they had a relationship with. What song your phone would play when they called, the song playing when you first kissed, the song that played in a movie you loved watching together, etc. Even if the relationship ends and its been years, you hear that song and you feel something. That’s what ‘Rush’ is about… the songs attached to those you once loved and the feeling that still exists when you hear them.”

Fans can snag a free download of “Rush” by signing up for Erin’s email newsletter on her official website: http://www.erinbowman.net
